Granite SDK

The Granite SDK consists of both production and run-time components. The runtime component can be integrated into any 3D or game engine. While running your application, it will analyze which texture data is visible to the virtual camera in your scene, and constantly load the required texture data asynchronously from disk into video memory.

There’s no need to load all textures up front at the start of the application. All the runtime subsystems are highly optimized to ensure the lowest latency possible between requesting a piece of texture data, and when it is present in video memory to be used for rendering. It doesn’t matter how many textures you have in your scene, or how high the resolutions of those textures are, Granite SDK will elegantly handle all your content at 60 frames per second.

Granite SDK eliminates texture-related memory and loading time issues to get ultra-high quality graphics in real-time on mainstream hardware for 3D visualization and video games. It’s a fine-grained texture streaming technology that is aimed at using sparse textures, also called virtual texturing.

Easily integrates in any render engine, graphics API and development pipeline.

It’s available for as a premade plugin for Unity 3D and Unreal Engine.

BENEFITS

Granite SDK allows you to either drastically increase your graphical fidelity for the same memory and storage budget, or reduce these requirements for efficient distribution and reduced minimum hardware requirements for your product. In addition to the significant memory savings, streaming your texture data into memory when it is needed will drastically lower your scene loading times, allowing your users to jump in without unwanted delays.
